Re: MBB Game 28 Drexel, 2/11/23 (Mon), 7 PM

Newsday, once again, comes to the party a little late with only three regular season games remaining. Do you think they will now assign a reporter to these games considering they are all on Long Island? Currently on KenPom: HU #93, Hampton #344, SBU #337, NU #296, and for future reference, CC #68, T...

Re: MBB Game 25 - Stony Brook, 2/4/23 (Sat), 4 PM

Here's Coach Speak," Respect the game, respect your opponent." All Coach Speedy has to do is reference the last 10 minutes of the NC A&T game. Learn from your mistakes. The most important game is the next game. The #1 seed has the most time between games at the CAA Tournament, 12:00 on...

Re: MBB Game 24 - Towson, 2/2/23 (Thurs), 7 PM

Well deserved HU win. Towson has always been a difficult opponent. As Coach Speedy says, "The tougher team won." Good to see Coach Joe at the game tonight. Great to be able to control the top CAA Tournament seed.

Re: MBB Game 24 - Towson, 2/2/23 (Thurs), 7 PM

I think the most important keys to tonight are: 1) Box out on rebounds, especially on the defensive end. Towson's best offensive plays are offensive rebounds and putbacks 2) Hit your shots so there are fewer Towson defensive rebounds 3) How about a few drives to the basket to increase the possibilit...

Re: Men's Lacrosse 2023

I also believe one of the keys to the season, as always, is keeping the best players on the field. Encouraging scrimmage results from last Saturday. I was very glad to see the Merrimack game switched to Sunday. Those projected Massachusetts temperatures and wind would be brutal for all involved.

Re: Hofstra Lacrosse 2022

To triplec2195, The HU team is projected to MISS the CAA playoffs in May. There are no first team preseason All CAA player selections for the upcoming 2023 season. There are 3 players listed as Honorable Mention. So, the answer seems to be yes about the lessening of national and CAA relevance. I als...

Re: Why Not Florida?????

I thought the idea of 14 CAA members from Massachusetts to South Carolina was to split into 7 north and 7 south member divisions to limit travel and expenses. This proposed 15th Florida member would have to be balanced with a 16th northern member to make an even number of colleges which is preferabl...

Speaking of UNLV, the hospitality school is very highly ranked. I checked a few college ranking websites, and UNLV was consistently in the top 10 for hotel and hospitality. Also speaking of gambling, near where the Target store in Westbury, off the Meadowbrook Parkway, was the Roosevelt Raceway for ...

Why do I have a very strong feeling that this Sands Casino will easily become a reality? As they always say, "Just follow the money!" There is too much money to be made with this proposal. Having the Sands involved as the lead on this proposal can only spur this to completion. The Sands na...

According to ESPN, HU is a 97.9% favorite over MU. I cannot remember a larger Division 1 percentage for HU. King Rice is head coach at MU.

Re: MBB Game 17 - @ William & Mary, 1/7/23, 2 PM EST

This year's men's basketball schedule does not make any sense to me either. Remember, next year there will be 14 teams. The schedule will have to become different. I posted a good question on the arrangement of the schedule for the CAA in 2023-24 last evening. What do you think may happen?

Re: Around the CAA Talk

When we recently discussed the CAA expanding to 14 members for the 2023-2024 seasons, I started thinking about how the basketball schedules might be affected. With 7 north (NU, Hofstra, SBU, MU, DU, UD, and TU) and 7 south (CW&M, Hampton, NCA&T, EU, Campbell, UNCW, and CofC) teams, there cou...

Pride97, agree with everything you wrote. This was, by far, the best JC game of his HU career. When Coach Speedy gave JC a chest bump when coming to the bench, it spoke volumes on how great JC was playing tonight. HU was never trailing in this game. I hope the team can build on this victory to get a...

To triplec2195, I was watching the Fordham-Davidson game tonight. Since the game ran long, the announcers mentioned that the next game, New Mexico-Colorado State, would be on the CBSSN for free. So, I googled CBSSN, got the site, and there was the game. I guess you could try this for Hofstra-Delawar...

Triplec2195, An idea for you is to try Pluto TV on your computer. It's free! I know it gets all the local CBS stations and it might get the CBS Sports channel. I think it is worth a try. Good luck.
